It has a 4 fucking GB cap, and you pay 10 bucks for every additional GB. And despite what Verizon and AT&T bleat, 4GBs is fucking NOTHING. Just by normal browsing you can easily destroy that in a month, because the large majority of web pages now have front pages with 5-10MB of content on it. And forget about ever watching a video of any kind anywhere.

A man cannot live on 2-4 HD porn scenes a month. This is entirely unacceptable!!!!!

1. They subsidize the shit out of development in rural areas like where I live, and then the companies turn around and charge us out the ass for the absolute minimal service that they can provide to an area.

2. There's absolutely no competition in these areas after they do it. One provider runs a monopoly on broadband over an entire region, so there's no recourse for frequent outages, billing "errors", and everything else that becomes common practice.

And, in a brilliant stroke of irony, my internet connection died yet again just as I was about to post this...and mine is pretty good compared to most of the rural areas around here.

Oh, was at out loud?

While I agree, do you really need HD on a mobile phone?

I suppose that if you velcro it to your face, it might be like watching it in the theatre, but it's going to be fuzzy because of that whole ~10cm to infinity thing : )

Chairman Genachowski argues his plan will address all three concerns. It will begin shifting USF money to a new Connect America Fund, which will subsidize the provision of broadband services to rural areas that don't currently have access to it. That fund will include money for mobile broadband service.

Fantastic. So rather than AT&T getting USF funds for providing shitty phone service to rural customers, they will now get it for providing shitty CELLPHONE service to rural customers.

I also love how mobile broadband is considered to be 'broadband.' It has a 4 fucking GB cap, and you pay 10 bucks for every additional GB.

Thanks, FCC. You truly do a great job watching out for the interests of the American citizens corporations.
